Please always be on the alert for possible phishing attacks. This week there was an email sent out regarding a UConn approved Work-Study placement that appeared to have been sent from a non-UConn email address. The email has a subject that says “Uconn Approved” and includes a pdf titled “OnBoard.pdf”. If you did receive this email, do not open the pdf. Please forward the email to reportphishing@uconn.edu and delete the message from your inbox. IT Security has provided the following article https://security.uconn.edu/2023/01/19/employment-scams/ regarding employment scams.
